The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is soaring to a five-month high this morning after the latest US inflation figures saw Wall Street soar overnight, and Aussie tech shares are among the market's leaders.
The ASX 200 is currently up 2.75% at 7,155.2 points. At the same time, the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) is up a whopping 3.99%.
Market watchers likely won't be surprised to learn, therefore, that the Nasdaq Composite Index (NASDAQ: .IXIC) leapt 7.3% overnight.
Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) rose 3.7% and the S&P 500 Index (SP: .INX) soared 5.5%.
Their gains followed news the US consumer price index lifted 0.4% in October and 7.7% over the last 12 months. That was a softer result than broadly expected and could lead the US Federal Reserve to put the brakes on interest rate hikes.
So, which ASX 200 tech shares are making the most of Friday's surge? Keep reading to find out.
